Back Blogging!

This white man is back after a two-day sojourn from his blog world. Last weekend was a relaxing time spent at Anglesea with my church family at the Lutheran-run Araluen Camp. The youth particularly enjoyed the experience of participating in activities with the older generation. They don't often have the opportunity to do this in church so this was valuable in it's own right. And there was just a really positive united feeling within the camp with young and old together. And this strong united generational vibe prompted this white man to pen a short poem whilst overlooking the south-west Victorian coastline;

SMOOTH ON WEATHERED

Long town walk, paddling boats

Old and young are side by side

Volleyball, sand and fun

Young and old with no divide

Warm words shared, unity
Old and young together

One in Christ, one family

Hands held, smooth on weathered

Legacy and future days

Old and young have blessing

Hopeful prayers are prayed in faith

Gratitude expressing

Precious time in Anglesea

Young and old together

Spirit breathing care and love

Hands held, smooth on weathered.
